10 Top Pinterest Boards

Passion is often a confusing term that means many things. It appears in the primal urge context where the human hormones are racing. As a teenager I thought it was something you did on the back seat of a car while your Mum and Dad thought you were baking cookies or doing your science homework at a friends place.

Sometimes it describes an almost obsessive compulsive disorder but often to succeed you need to to pursue your interest with activity that is seen by others as manic.

The interpretation I prefer is the burning energy that underlies our motivation for something(s) you love to do and supercharges your days and turns the canvas of life into a masterpiece.

The range of passion categories are as broad and rich as the people that populate the planet and the interests that make them rise early, stay up late and climb to the top of Everest.

Discover your passion and life can go from humdrum to vibrant. Social media and social networks provide the tools to both express it, publish your passion and market it to a global audience.

The social media network Pinterest is a simple concept executed well that allows people to visually display their skills, experiences and glimpses into their motivations.

I’ve just created a Pinterest board showing a comprehensive selection of business networking events taking place in Sydney during November – http://pinterest.com/richardc02/sydney-biz-events-november-2012/. It seems to me like a really neat way of viewing all these events and certainly beats trawling through half a dozen or more websites. What do you think? How could it be improved?
